“and I don’t believe in soulmates, but baby we were so damn close”. Few lines hit me as powerful as mia christ’s pained and passionate utterance on “kiss me with the light on”. It’s such a deeply tear jerking song to anyone who’s going through the throes of a breakup, or even just a victim to circumstance in a relationship that could no longer materialise.
It’s a cuttingly heart-wrenching ballad that showcases the raw and vulnerable emotions that come with a difficult breakup. The minimal production puts Mia’s stunning vocals front and center, allowing her to deliver a powerful performance that is both rivetingly immersive and painfully beautiful. The lyrics perfectly capture the confusion and pain of trying to let go of someone you still love, and the stripped-back arrangement adds to the song’s emotional weight.
I can’t help but tear up.
